Order

Karla Te Au must pay [The landlord/s] $446.86 immediately, as set out in the table below.

Reasons

Both parties attended the hearing by remote teleconference.
The landlord has applied for conditional termination of the tenancy, rent arrears and refund of the bond.

Should the tenancy be terminated?

The Tribunal shall terminate a tenancy where: a. on 3 separate occasions within a 90-day period the rent has been at least 5 working days in arrear; and b. on each occasion the landlord gave the tenant written notice advising the tenant of the arrear, the dates for which rent was overdue, the amount or amounts of overdue rent, and the tenant’s right to make an application to the Tribunal challenging the notice; and c. each notice stated how many other notices (if any) the landlord had given the tenant under this paragraph in relation to the same tenancy and 90-day period; and d. the landlord’s application to the Tribunal was made within 28 days after the landlord gave the third notice. See section 55(1)(aa) Residential Tenancies Act 1986.
In this case I find the landlord has served notices on the tenant as required in the Residential Tenancies Act 1986, however, the application to the Tribunal must be made within 28 days of the date of the third notice. The third notice dated 5 March 2024 does not qualify as a notice under the RTA. This means I must take the notice dated 29 February 2024 as the third notice which takes it outside the 28-day requirement.
The grounds have not been established and the tenancy cannot be terminated on this occasion. Instead. I find that a money order is the only option for the landlord at this juncture. Rent records have been provided which prove the amount owing as at todays’ date.
Because [The applicant/s] has substantially succeeded with the claim I have reimbursed the filing fee.
The Tribunal must, on the application of a party that has wholly or substantially succeeded in proceedings, order that the party’s name or identifying particulars not be published, unless the Tribunal considers that publication is in the public interest or is justified because of the party’s conduct or any other circumstances of the case – section 95A Residential Tenancies Act
The landlord applied for a name suppression order. The landlord is entitled to name suppression as the application is successful – see section 95A RTA.
